Here I will be comparing some interesting data. On the one hand we have one side of the data:
I want to use the songs of these two bands to have some fun and make an interesting comparison with another part of the data:
The purpose of this playlist is to give the listener some music that is kind of like the music of SAAN, or maybe has been an inspiration for the band members. My research will therefore try to look at the next question:
Does SAAN sound like they think they do?
By comparing the playlist with their own songs we might get some insight into the kinds of things the members of SAAN listen to in the music they appreciate. For example: we might find that most of the songs in the radio SAAN playlist have a high score on valence. If the songs made by SAAN also tend to have a high valence, we could conclude that they appreciate a good mood! In The first data we will look at some introductory visualizations exploring some characteristics of SAANs music.
The graph here on the left show us a quick overview of the valence and tempo of all the SAAN songs. We notice something interesting for the valence values: most of the songs score above 0.5, but 4 of them eek out below from under 0.3! And the low-valence songs are from different albums, so its not like they had an emo phase… We will have to look further into this!
The tempo values are pretty much smeared out, even though 125 bpm is preferably avoided.
